FORT WORTH. TEX, March II. 1887.
Trade was up to the average to-day, but
was not extremely active.
Wool men expect the spring trade to
open early, and have hopes of a success
full season.
Butter is still feature of the retail
trade, or, strictly speaking, the lack of
butter is feature. Fair country butter
would bring fancy prices now.
THE BREADsTUPFs SITUATION.
The exports Of wheat land four from
the Atlantic ports from July last, to
March, 1887, were 82,837,000 bushels,
against Sc, $50, 900 bushels in 1886, and
and Is, 58I 900 bushels in 1884-65. Pacific
coast exports for eight months
following July l, last, were 1888, 900
bushels, making in all from the United
states during the current cereal year (to
March 1850 100 $4,000 bushels. With
the home crop last year at 457 900
bushels, with 75,0U0,000 bushels "carried
over" July l, 1886, 30, 100000 bushels 1e-
served for carving over next July, and
$50, 100000 bushels required for 3 years

exports to March l show but $4,000, 900
bushels available for export from March
to July next, of which 400, 900 bush
els will be required by British North
America, East and West Indies, Central
and Sou America.
The estimated total annual consump-
tion of wheat in the United Kingdom is
PIP, 900, 900 bushels. The British home
-ho% ;, .
457, 900 bushels, Of which "a 2-l0 per cent.
has been delivered. The United King
dom will, therefore, have to import in
the year ending August 81 next 154, 592, =
600 bushels Of wheat. From September
l last the United Kingdom has Ito March
81 imported 1921, 900 bushels and H.
1928, 600 bushels are on passage, of which
10 per cent. may be diverted to the con-
tinent. These totals point to 85,238, 900
bushels in hand or on the way to the
3l3, 900 bushels to be received from
abroad by August l, 1887.
1t has been calculated on the basis Of
late reports of the French wheat crop,
and the fact that stocks there are very
low, that France Will probably have to
import during the next four or FIVE

bushels. Taking a low average of i'm
ports of wheat by other continental
countries during latter halves OF the past
ten cereal years and the probable require
ments by August l next, aggregate
80, 100000 bushels, making, with the
totals for the United Kingdom and for
France, 126,617,000 bushels Brad
